Have i shagged my shocks?
 
Went 4 up to Wales at the weekend.....

Noticed that the car bounces A LOT at the back... rather than absorbing the shocks - the back seems to pogo over them.... seems to be worse now im back.

If i push down on the rear of the car, the car bounces back and feels "soft".... if i push down on the front - the front is rock solid...

Cars an MY01 WRX so its had 5 years of life in it... 35k

Are the shocks done?
